APEX Awards Also Honor Magazine for Best in News Writing and
Design & Layout
MALVERN, PA–(EMWNews)–Podiatry Today, the most widely read publication in podiatry, has
recently been conferred several honors for best medical publication,
news and design excellence. The newly announced awards include a Magnum
Opus Silver Award for Best All Around Medical Publication and two APEX
Awards for News Writing and Design & Layout.
“What we continually strive to do with Podiatry
Today is provide a practical clinical magazine that addresses
emerging clinical topics as well as the ‘meat
and potatoes’ conditions that podiatric
physicians see in practice everyday,” says
Jeff Hall, Vice President & Executive Editor of Podiatry Today
who has worked on the publication for nearly a decade. “These
honors are a reflection of the entire staff of the magazine. They are
also a testament to our sterling Editorial Advisory Board, our regular
clinical columnists and other key physician contributors.”
Podiatry Today’s Senior Editor Brian
McCurdy earned his third APEX Award for News Writing. The story, ACFAS
Changes Dual APMA Membership Policy (www.podiatrytoday.com.article/8248)
ran in the February 2008 issue of the magazine and offered a variety of
viewpoints on one of the most controversial issues to emerge in podiatry
in recent years. This is the third APEX Award for McCurdy who earned one
in 2005 for Health & Medical Writing and one in 2004 for Feature Writing.
“With our ‘News &
Trends’ section, we try to provide the depth
behind the news story. In this instance, the ACFAS/APMA story involved a
very controversial issue with a number of different perspectives,”
says McCurdy, who has worked on the magazine for more than seven years. “In
order to stay on top of these issues, we consistently talk to our
readers, attend conferences and sit in on lectures so we can deliver a
quality publication that is eagerly anticipated by our subscribers.”
Creative Director Vic Geanopulos was awarded an APEX Award for the
August 2007 issue of Podiatry Today which featured the Top Ten
Innovations in Podiatry.
“Being recognized by industry peers is an
honor in itself,” say Geanopulos. “Working
with the team at Podiatry Today makes it easy to put out quality
work and I’m proud the entire team has been
acknowledged in their efforts.”
The Magnum Opus Awards recognize excellence not only for entire
publications but for the best elements of those publications, from
design elements like illustrations, photography, and typography to
content like editorials, CEO letters, and essays. Entries are reviewed
by judges from the Missouri School of Journalism along with other
industry leaders.
The Annual APEX Awards for Publication Excellence recognize excellence
in publications’ work by professional
communicators. APEX Awards are based on excellence in graphic design,
editorial content and the ability to achieve overall communications
excellence. The 20th Annual APEX Awards drew
nearly 4,500 entries.
